This wasn't actually buying a mod but having the car lowered is a real pain here in Pa. The previous owner did it and I am going to raise it back over the winter. I scrape on spit out bubble gum and can't pull onto any driveway above a very slow walk. Maybe they are great in So. Cal or Alabama where they have good roads but here in the Northeast it is a real waste of time. Rides like crap too!

The stainless screw kits. The threads were not even close to the stock screws. The washers either smashed into the plastic or the screw stripped before I felt they were as tight as the ones I removed.

The body creaked in the door jam or hatch area after installation. I tried to tighten them some more but just ended up with a few more stripped holes.

Same here, I loved the stock clutch so much I didn't want to get rid of it, but with future plans, A shop advised me to go with the Z instead of the X. it still chatters an I have over 15k miles on it

I blacked out my front corner lights ,left them that way for a few weeks to see if I liked them.
Then decided they looked better stock,and put them back the way they were.
But when I put them back to stock,they just didn't look right to me.
I guess you could say I wasn't sure,although I was leaning toward the blacked out look-SO,I resorted to something I really hate to do,but I felt there was no other choice-

YES,that's right-I ASKED THE WIFE her opinion!

She actually bypassed the usual smart remarks,and just said"blacked out looks better"

So I'm still not sure.....

...Actually I do like them blacked out,so that's how they're staying

I agree, I too bought these cheap azz rail savers and cost me $40 to my door. They are total crap and I never installed them. Beside's that I paid $40 for a radar detector mount, that mounts to the mirror. Again a big rip off for a .20 bolt with a piece of expoxy on the end.
